Visual Hash

Visual Hash API Module

Would add visual representations of paasswords when typed into login forms (or password edit forms). The goal is to increase the accuracy of the typed password while still keeping it secure from onlookers. As a user types in a password correctly more often, the idea is that they'll recognize the visual hash created by the password which will increase the confidence that they're typing in the right password without having to find out after submitting whether or not it's correct.

Design

• • how does one add a hash? Similar to the Wysiwig module?

  • are multiple hashes permitted, maybe in different contexts?

    • is multiple contexts even a good idea?

Hashes to Implement

• • Chroma-Hash implemented as a module at https://gist.github.com/834889

    • narrow vertical bars on the right side of the password input element with colours to indicate the hash

  • HashMask implemented as a module at https://gist.github.com/834830

    • sparkline that with the area underneath the lines changing colour

  • what else?
